yes, you can use multiple cameras.

oddly the quicktime api uses the name of the device to grab it, so there's no way for us to specifically choose one or the other if they're identically named.

however, you can do it by hand, if you call camera.settings() which will let you select it properly.

alternatively, it's possible that if you ask for one camera and then ask for a second with the same name, it's just going to give you the second camera.

I still have problem... the problems seem to get worse when I use OPENGL rendering. In general I think the "captureEvent" is dodge. This code (without opengl) works fine:

Code:

void captureEvent(Capture myCapture){
  myCapture.read();
} 
 
void draw() {
  image(capture1, 0, 0);
  image(capture2, 360, 0);
}
 

but if I do this, that could be the way to solve some opengl issues, it doesn't:

Code:

void captureEvent(Capture myCapture){
  myCapture.read();
  if(myCapture==capture1){
    img1.copy(capture1,0,0,w,h,0,0,w,h);
   }else if (myCapture==capture2){
    img2.copy(capture2,0,0,w,h,0,0,w,h);
   } 
} 
 
void draw() {
  image(img1, 0, 0);
  image(img2, 360, 0);
}
 

Any ideas?
